Wheel Upgrade to 20s...Need advice

KillerBee370 · 04-30-2011, 02:44 AM

The terms "upgrade" and "20's" don't belong in the same sentence. It's a sports car not a donk. Stick with 19's. They will be lighter and look a hell of a lot better in that fender than 20's will. Unless you don't plan to track your car and want to achieve that hellaflush look for whatever reason and don't give a damn about unsprung weight affecting whp. But that's just me

I agree 100%, but some people buy the 370Z because they like how it looks and could care less about performance, and to THEM, a 20" rim looks good.

20's are too big for the Z

You can find better places to put your money performance wise. If this is all for looks, go for it.
